I tried to follow the instructions here to set up a clean-ish Windows 10 VM and noticed a few things:
You need to clone this repository (not download the zip tarball from GitHub)
Visual Studio 2015 doesn't install Visual C++ by default.
Visual Studio 2015 in a compeltely fresh setup (i.e. you've never installed any VS before) may not install rc.exe in the right spot unless you also tick the Windows mobile SDK - causing a compile fail around protobuf time.
Thought this might help anyone trying to do this in the future
